Do you have any tips for my flight to Basse-Terre?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Basse-Terre could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Basse-Terre?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Basse-Terre a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:
  • Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
